The City of Atlanta announced that Governor Nathan Deal has appointed Faye DiMassimo, General Manager of the Renew Atlanta-TSPLOST program, to the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors.

“I am pleased that Governor Nathan Deal has appointed Faye DiMassimo to the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority Board of Directors,” said Mayor Kasim Reed. “Since joining our team, Ms. DiMassimo has brought a tremendous level of expertise and leadership to the $250 million Renew Atlanta infrastructure bond program.
